Change Your Habits, Change Your Life: A Proven Plan for Healthy Living [Paperback]

Danna Demetre (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2009

Most of us have lifestyle habits we would like to change. Life would be richer and more productive if we took better care of our bodies, minds, and spirits. And most of us know what to do--we just can't get ourselves to do it consistently. God designed the human brain so that the dominant thought "wins." So a life of unhealthy habits is a life with an unhealthy mind-set.

Danna Demetre invites readers to join her on a 40-day journey toward being "transformed by the renewing of our minds." Acting as a personal lifestyle coach, she offers the tools needed to erase and replace the old negative mental programming with healthier messages that honor God and move readers toward being the person God designed them to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical Weight Loss Information that you can REALLY Use!, April 22, 2009

By 

ASLacey - See all my reviews

This review is from: Change Your Habits, Change Your Life: A Proven Plan for Healthy Living (Paperback)

Change Your Habits, Change Your Life will truly do what the title says. This book does not reveal any weight loss secret and doesn't miraculous present anything you haven't heard before or know is true ... but what is does is deliver the message in a practical way, as if it were presented by a true and trusted friend over the kitchen table. Danna gives real life information backed up by God's truth. For once I have read a book that not only enforces what I know is the right way to lose weight (eat less, move more, duh!), but gives direction on how to trust God to provide the transformation into knowing what to do and DOING IT!

This review is from: Change Your Habits, Change Your Life: A Proven Plan for Healthy Living (Paperback)

I am almost done with my second time through Danna's book. The daily readings are encouraging, both spiritually and health-wise. Danna is very encouraging about celebrating every small victory and change because they truly add up to become lifestyle changes. I am exercising regularly, eating in a much more healthy and natural way, and encouraged to know and believe the truth about God and myself...the way to truly change and renew my mind. I highly recommend this book for anyone seeking to change unhealthy physical habits, as well as unhealthy thinking. I'm going to go through it a third time!

I ordered Danna Demetre's book after attending a Womens conference where she was the guest speaker. She is dynamic in her presentation and very motivating in her ability to spur us on in order to make changes in our life.

The biggest change in my life is knowing I am a child of GOD and from that flows how I think of myself based on what GOD says about me. We are what we think and Danna reminds us that healthy living both physically and spiritually is the key.

We learn how we can change our habits by changing our old "thought tapes". She has some very helpful guidelines to effectively change us for the better and more happier self GOD meant us to be.

I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking for an effective way to change old habits.
